Safety. Nairobi National Park, like most parks in Kenya, is very safe to visit, in our opinion. Nairobi city though, has a bad reputation for crime.
Nairobi National Park is unique by being the only protected area in the world with a variety of animals and birds close to a capital city. The park is a principal attraction for visitors to Nairobi.
While Kenya is a safe destination compared to some surrounding African countries, there are issues with crime in major cities, and many government travel advisories warn travelers of the threat of terrorism.
